Rehabilitation

Treatment for alcohol abuse may be done in a hospital setting or while living at home. It may involve individual or
group therapy. Many people seek support by participating in groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Prevention

To prevent having DTs, do not abuse alcohol. If you do drink large amounts on a regular basis, do not suddenly decrease the amount or stop drinking on your own. Rather, get advice from your doctor on the safest way to lower your intake.
